HTML-CSS: Typewriter effect

HTML-CSS : Exercise-11 with Solution

Using HTML, CSS, JavaScript create a typewriter effect animation.

  • Define two animations, typing to animate the characters and blink to animate the caret.
  • Use the :after pseudo-element to add the caret to the container element.
  • Use JavaScript to set the text for the inner element and set the --characters variable containing the character count. This variable is used to animate the text.
  • Use white-space: nowrap and overflow: hidden to make content invisible as necessary.
